Brand 'became sinister after Manuelgate'

Rex Features

Russell Brand's mood reportedly became "sinister" when the Manuelgate scandal broke.

Francesca Amber Sawyer, who claimed to have had a threesome with the comedian, told the News Of The World that Brand's "sweet and charming" nature turned when he received a phone call informing him of the controversy his lewd messages were causing.

Sawyer said: "He got the call telling him he was in trouble for the obscene messages. I don't know who was breaking the news to him but his mood changed.

"The first thing I heard him say to the caller was, 'But I love Manuel, I love him. I love Fawlty Towers'. As the call went on he got more agitated and when he finally got off he was in a fury."

She continued: "As soon as he got off the phone he was like a different man. He immediately wanted me to have a another threesome with a girl he had lined up.

"When I told him I hadn't visited him to have sex, he shouted, 'You are in Russell Brand's house. I asked you here for sex'. I was very upset. It was sinister.

"I felt cheap and couldn't believe he was being so sleazy towards me when he had been so kind before. He yelled, 'I'm supposed to go to Jonathan Ross's house but I am here with you!'"

Sawyer also alleged that Brand gave her a pair of Satanic Sluts Extreme pants belonging to Georgina Baillie, the burlesque dancer at the centre of the scandal.
